  "summary": "US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin on Thursday. These meetings follow two days of US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi between Russian and Ukrainian officials, which marked the first negotiations between the sides in over eight months. During the Abu Dhabi discussions, negotiators reportedly agreed to a large-scale prisoner exchange, though the specific numbers and procedures are still being finalized.\n\nAccording to the Jerusalem Post, the envoys are expected to reiterate President Donald Trump’s request for Russia to submit a proposal for a new security agreement with Europe intended to ease tensions. The report notes that while the US has previously rejected Russian demands to scale back NATO military presence in Eastern Europe, it appears more open to such demands as part of efforts to end the war. However, many European governments reportedly do not trust the Trump administration's approach to this agreement.\n\nFollowing the conclusion of the Abu Dhabi talks on Wednesday, Kushner described the sessions as thorough and \"pretty tough discussions\" where compromises were found in some areas. France 24 reports that Zelensky suggested a window of opportunity could emerge to end the war before 2027.",
